Questions and answers

Why does Arabic from a PDF come out broken?

Many PDFs store Arabic as display shapes or in visual order. Fix broken letters turns display shapes back into normal letters, and Text is reversed puts the letters back in reading order.

What does removing tashkeel do?

It deletes the short-vowel marks (fatha, damma, kasra, shadda, sukun, tanween) so text is easier to search and compare.

Should I turn ة into ه?

Only for searching or matching lists, such as cleaning names in a spreadsheet. It changes the spelling, so don't use it for documents you send.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. Everything is done in your browser.
